Who owns speakers which are NOT British?

Sweden Guru QM 10's

After 30 years with my Rogers LS3/5a speakers I finally upgraded to Aerial 5B speakers.  Made in the good ol' US of A!

My speakers are 100% American.  Naim electronics...Naim Fraim...Naim connects....Devore speakers.

Dutch: MoA Pillar's as second speakers. Got them since yesterday. Speakers are almost 30 years ...

Another Devore fan here -- made in Brooklyn, NYC -- right across the river from my apartment.

Denmark dynaudio when dynaudio was Denmark and not China.

I taste a lot of europa-made versus china-made sentiment in this thread

Really? Have you read the entire thread because there seems to be a lot of North American makers posted. Far more than China.

I did reallize that once I clicked Post Reply. Lets put it differently: Western World vs Asian.

Well the ATC entry level speakers have the cabinets made in China and the design, assembly and drivers made and undertaken in England - so a good bit of global cooperation for production

Canada: Verity Audio's Parsifal Encore. Took very long to find a proper room placement, but now I am extremely happy!

It would be interesting for context if   respondees were to identify their location as well as speaker source, because this topic begs the questions as to whether when it comes to hifi different nations or perhaps cultures have different preferences in respect of sound balance/character (given that the speaker is the part most responsible), and whether that then infuences speaker choice, or, if there is a tendency towards choosing local speaker source, whether it is more a matter of shipping and availability, especially at the larger end of the scale.

All speakers I've ever owned have been British (though drive units have included Scandinavian as well as British, and my very first home brew one had a driver of unknown origin, possibly far East.) I live in the British Isles. Many years ago I auditioned about a dozen speakers that today would be in the £2.5-3k price bracket. Most were British. And most had sonic characters very different from one another, so not really suggesting a 'British sound', though it would need a far bigger sample of other countries' speakers to be able to determine that.

Danish speakers - Audiovector. Extremely satisfied!

Our 5.1 home theater setup is Canadian:  Axiom Audio.

All Canadian, totem sttaf with Uniti and Verity Audio Tamino X2 nice compagnons to 272/200. Both are so musical but need space to breath.

Devore here – love my Nines. Dream of Xs!

I will get to hear De Vores at some stage. I think they look great and imagine i'd like their presentation too.

Canada - Digital Phase 4.0 hybrid speakers (from USA) with F connection NACA5 off a 200

Arun

Danish

Jamo concert 11

Shahinian Obelisks. American. Live in Jersey (not New). Thankfully very helpful dealer in Alderney sourced a pair to try from a very helpful distributor in UK. No commitment at demo but wife was immediately convinced and they've stayed. Still stunned every time I listen. 

In UK -  Klipsch Cornwall lll ( from Arkansas, but not with Naim amps I hasten to add).

i'd highly recommend that, Gary! i just added a 282/250 to my Gibbon 8s and i'm pretty knocked out by how good it sounds.

i'd love to hear a Nait 2 into some O/96s.

French - Focal Sopra No 1s

As an aside, all my many previous speakers have been British, including a pair of Heybrook HB2s.  Great speakers apart from the regularity with which the tweeters blew.  Talked to the designer (Peter Comeau IIRC) and he acknowledged this was a weakness of the model.

Canadian - Totem Mani-2 Signatures

Scotland - (British at the moment but who knows post brexit )
